I have heard him call Hartline the goat. He actually raves about Hartline.

It's true. Hartline did not rotate very much. Many people questioned that.

Get a real kicker for the love of christ, Ryan.

Not so much of a criticism as an adjustment I think he'll understand and make this next season.

College ball is necessarily different from the NFL. A LOT of NFL teams operate under the 4 minute offense (so does Ohio State in a lot of previous seasons). Teams that can dink and dunk all the way down the field without fucking up (like last night) are very rare. I want to say the longest pass attempted by Beck last night was under 25 yards (full disclosure, I didn't see most of the 4th quarter).

The adjustment is, as @Captain Buckeye stated - if your offense is chewing clock, and you're not getting off the field defensively (playing softer zones, not getting off the field on 3rd down, etc) - then BOTH teams are chewing clock. That will work 90% of the time when you have a team as powerful as Ohio State BUT when the other team can play that way like Indiana and Cryami did, then the system works against itself.

The adjustment has to be to attack more in those situations. When Ohio State did that last night on defense, they got several stops in a row.

Patricia is the best defensive coordinator Ohio State has had since Fickell or Dantonio. I'm certain he will figure it out.

56 yard chip shot

ho hum, another 50+ right through the uprights

55 and 56 with ease lol. Meanwhile Fielding is liable to shank a 27 yarder

Just sayin': I'd say either of these two would be a great hire as OC.

Brian Daboll​

Brian Daboll was the head coach of the New York Giants and has a strong track record of working with quarterbacks, including the Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen. Daboll was rumored to be a candidate for the Penn State coaching job, but that wasn’t the way that the Nittany Lions went.

Daboll is a great offensive mind with experience at the college and pro levels. Ryan Day went to the NFL ranks to get his defensive coordinator with Matt Patricia, maybe he does that here.

Kevin Wilson ​

Kevin Wilson was with the Buckeyes from 2017 through 2022 before leaving to take the head coaching job at Tulsa. Wilson was very good at his job in Columbus, and that helped him land the head coaching gig. Wilson was let go after the 2024 season and is now an offensive analyst with Oklahoma.

Since Wilson joined the Ohio State Buckeyes in 2017, they have averaged 523.8 yards per game (third in the nation), had more than 500 yards of total offense 27 times and over 600 yards nine times, scored 234 touchdowns (second in the nation), completed 138 touchdown passes (best in the nation), set six Big Ten Conference Offensive Records in the 2018 season (535.6 yards per game, 5,100 passing yards, 51 touchdown passes, 1131 total plays). Wilson's offense produced back-to-back Heisman Trophy finalists (Dwayne Haskins and Justin Fields), the first 2,000-yard rusher in school history (J. K. Dobbins), and the fifth 1,000-yard receiver in school history (Parris Campbell).

Normally I'd be delighted in the prospect of UGA losing but I think an Ole Miss wins pretty much assured Cryami in the title game

I mean if our only 2 losses come from the 2 teams in the national championship game, then that makes the most sense.

Indiana kicking Bama's ass made my day so I'm ok now

I tried to not watch, but there's literally nothing else on.

Seeing the Ole Miss kicker easily make a 55 yarder just adds to the displeasure that our guy can't even be relied upon to make a 30 yarder

Since I don't see a Bama thread....
This guy says---- That whoopin lasted almost as long as my Alabama Career!

Lincoln isn't getting any respect from 24/7; currently, he's just the 13th best QB in the portial.

Anyway, the current #1 QB in the portal is (former Indiana then to The Juggalos QB) Brenden Sorsby......

Well, he hasn't played. Not sure how anyone can accurately rank him. But he certainly has the physical tools to be great.
